Grade 6 students of GangotriPublic School, Gautam Vihar, Delhi.
We have been doing a full unit on "space" for a month. Students had a lot of fun doing this activity.
Step 1: As a homework students were supposed to read about their assigned planet and then create a cut out from thermocol (polystyrene) sheet.
Step2: On the day of the activity four students (three girls and one boy) created the semi circles using the nail and thread method they had studied in math class. It took them roughly 15 minutes to figure out and draw the planetary orbits.
Step 3: Once the orbits were drawn, all the other students came down and participated in the activity one by one. The above video was shot when one such group was enacting the motion of the planets.

Prof. dr. Kees de Jager has been studying the Sun for most of his life as a professional astrophysicist. In the past few years he has focussed on the relation between solar activity and the Earth's climate.
In this talk, given on the 20th of may 2011, prof. de Jager presents the latest results of his work. One of the main conclusions is that the Sun does have a significant influence on the Earth's climate, in addition to the human induced effects.
The activity of the sun knows an 10-11 years cycle. During the period 2008 - 2010 the sun has been very quiet and the expected raise in activity started as late as 2011. Prof. de Jager expects a low maximum of the cycle that just started. It will be followed by a lengthy period of quietness, similar to the Maunder minimum of the 17th century.

Eruptive events on the sun can be wildly different. Some come just with a solar flare, some with an additional ejection of solar material called a coronal mass ejection (CME), and some with complex moving structures in association with changes in magnetic field lines that loop up into the sun's atmosphere, the corona.
On July 19, 2012, an eruption occurred on the sun that produced all three. A moderately powerful solar flare exploded on the sun's lower right hand limb, sending out light and radiation. Next came a CME, which shot off to the right out into space. And then, the sun treated viewers to one of its dazzling magnetic displays -- a phenomenon known as coronal rain.
Over the course of the next day, hot plasma in the corona cooled and condensed along strong magnetic fields in the region. Magnetic fields, themselves, are invisible, but the charged plasma is forced to move along the lines, showing up brightly in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength of 304 Angstroms, which highlights material at a temperature of about 50,000 Kelvin. This plasma acts as a tracer, helping scientists watch the dance of magnetic fields on the sun, outlining the fields as it slowly falls back to the solar surface.
The footage in this video was collected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's AIA instrument. SDO collected one frame every 12 seconds, and the movie plays at 30 frames per second, so each second in this video corresponds to 6 minutes of real time. The video covers 12:30 a.m. EDT to 10:00 p.m. EDT on July 19, 2012.

The sun is about to enter a period of quiet, known as a solar minimum. This cycle happens every 11 years and is characterized of decreased activity—when sunspots fade away and produce fewer solar flares. With this latest period of inactivity approaching, scientists have been monitoring the sun to better understand some of the unusual activity observed over recent years.

MeetMitziAdams, an astrophysicist studying the sun. Adams has been working as a solar scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., since 1988. She analyzes data in an attempt to predict solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. Knowing when a solar flare, or CME, is going to occur is important for our satellites in orbit, for astronauts in space, and even for power companies on the ground. Instruments on board satellites now improve these predictions. In this episode, Adams presents the latest information about the sunâs layers, coronal mass ejections, solar flares and solar cycles.

Music: "A Lady's Errand of Love" - composed and performed by Martin Lass
In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun's rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.
SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) captures a shot of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths. The images shown here are based on a wavelength of 171 Angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around 600,000 Kelvin. In this wavelength it is easy to see the sun's 25-day rotation as well as how solar activity has increased over three years.
During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time. The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits the Earth at 6,876 miles per hour and the Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.
Such stability is crucial for scientists, who use SDO to learn more about our closest star. These images have regularly caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the act, types of space weather that can send radiation and solar material toward Earth and interfere with satellites in space. SDO's glimpses into the violent dance on the sun help scientists understand what causes these giant explosions -- with the hopes of some day improving our ability to predict this space weather.
There are several noteworthy events that appear briefly in this video. They include the two partial eclipses of the sun by the moon, two roll maneuvers, the largest flare of this solar cycle, comet Lovejoy, and the transit of Venus. The specific time for each event is listed below, but a sharp-eyed observer may see some while the video is playing.

00:31;16 Roll maneuver
01:11;02 August 9, 2011 X6.9 Flare, currently the largest of this solar cycle

Next came a CME, which shot off to the right out into space. And then, the sun treated viewers to one of its dazzling magnetic displays -- a phenomenon known as coronal rain.
Over the course of the next day, hot plasma in the corona cooled and condensed along strong magnetic fields in the region. Magnetic fields, themselves, are invisible, but the charged plasma is forced to move along the lines, showing up brightly in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength of 304 Angstroms, which highlights material at a temperature of about 50,000 Kelvin. This plasma acts as a tracer, helping scientists watch the dance of magnetic fields on the sun, outlining the fields as it slowly falls back to the solar surface.
The footage in this video was collected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's AIA instrument. SDO collected one frame every 12 seconds, and the movie plays at 30 frames per second, so each second in this video corresponds to 6 minutes of real time. The video covers 12:30 a.m. EDT to 10:00 p.m. EDT on July 19, 2012.

The sun is about to enter a period of quiet, known as a solar minimum. This cycle happens every 11 years and is characterized of decreased activity—when sunspots fade away and produce fewer solar flares. With this latest period of inactivity approaching, scientists have been monitoring the sun to better understand some of the unusual activity observed over recent years.

MeetMitziAdams, an astrophysicist studying the sun. Adams has been working as a solar scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., since 1988. She analyzes data in an attempt to predict solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. Knowing when a solar flare, or CME, is going to occur is important for our satellites in orbit, for astronauts in space, and even for power companies on the ground. Instruments on board satellites now improve these predictions. In this episode, Adams presents the latest information about the sunâs layers, coronal mass ejections, solar flares and solar cycles.

The Planets | Solar System for Kids | Fun Activities | Made by Red Cat Reading

Music: "A Lady's Errand of Love" - composed and performed by Martin Lass
In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun's rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.
SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) captures a shot of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths. The images shown here are based on a wavelength of 171 Angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around 600,000 Kelvin. In this wavelength it is easy to see the sun's 25-day rotation as well as how solar activity has increased over three years.
During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time. The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits the Earth at 6,876 miles per hour and the Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.
Such stability is crucial for scientists, who use SDO to learn more about our closest star. These images have regularly caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the act, types of space weather that can send radiation and solar material toward Earth and interfere with satellites in space. SDO's glimpses into the violent dance on the sun help scientists understand what causes these giant explosions -- with the hopes of some day improving our ability to predict this space weather.
There are several noteworthy events that appear briefly in this video. They include the two partial eclipses of the sun by the moon, two roll maneuvers, the largest flare of this solar cycle, comet Lovejoy, and the transit of Venus. The specific time for each event is listed below, but a sharp-eyed observer may see some while the video is playing.
00:30;24 Partial eclipse by the moon
00:31;16 Roll maneuver
01:11;02 August 9, 2011 X6.9 Flare, currently the largest of this solar cycle
01:28;07 Comet Lovejoy, December 15, 2011

A Sunspot Fizzles While Storms Head to Earth: Solar Storm Forecast: 03-08-2018

The Sun's activity both fizzles and picks up this week. Old region 2699 that we had high hopes would boost the solar flux as it rotated into earth view has fizzled. This means amateur radio and emergency communicators will continue to suffer from poor radio propagation this week. But the Sun counters by launching several solar storms, one that is Earth directed. Along with the remnants of a coronal hole sending us some sporadic fast wind, we should expect a mild disturbance from this activity to last several days. Aurora is easily possible down to high latitudes and we might even get some short-lived shows at mid-latitudes as well. learn the details of the coming solar storm, what happened to the old active region 2699, and what else the Sun has in store.

Solar Activity and Climate

Prof. dr. Kees de Jager has been studying the Sun for most of his life as a professional astrophysicist. In the past few years he has focussed on the relation between solar activity and the Earth's climate.
In this talk, given on the 20th of may 2011, prof. de Jager presents the latest results of his work. One of the main conclusions is that the Sun does have a significant influence on the Earth's climate, in addition to the human induced effects.
The activity of the sun knows an 10-11 years cycle. During the period 2008 - 2010 the sun has been very quiet and the expected raise in activity started as late as 2011. Prof. de Jager expects a low maximum of the cycle that just started. It will be followed by a lengthy period of quietness, similar to the Maunder minimum of the 17th centur...

NASA | Thermonuclear Art – The Sun In Ultra-HD (4K)

It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents t...

The Recent Decline in Solar Activity

Cycles 23 and 24 mark a change in solar activity in recent times. Most of the solar synoptic programs from both ground and space observatories started during the Space Age, which corresponded to an extended period of above-average solar activity. Thus, many of our ideas on the solar cycle were based on the Sun's behavior during active times. Cycle 24 was preceded by the longest and deepest minimum in about 100 years and is the weakest cycle ever observed with modern instrumentation. Already in cycle 23, a lack of very large sunspots was noticeable, and in cycle 24, sunspots of all sizes have been scarce. However, this does not make cycle 24 anomalous in a longer-term context (weak cycles have fewer spots!), and we do not find evidence that the physical properties of sunspots have changed. ...

The sun dominates life on our planet, yet we know astonishingly little about long-term variation in solar activity and how it might have influenced Earths climate. JoinDevendra Lal as he explains how chemical clues locked in Antarctic ice can reconstruct 1,000 years of solar activity and how this knowledge is critical to understanding Earths climate history.

In part #6/10 of the GrandSolarMinimumPrimer we focus on GalacticCosmic Rays and their influence on global climate.
Recent studies and discoveries at CERN have proven that galactic cosmic rays cause cloud nucleation. Therefore galactic cosmic ray intensity can be correlated to global climate change. This is due to the albedo effect and increasing cloud nucleation resulting in global cooling. I have provided many provocative links to help you get started on your journey to understand the truth about climate change and eliminate the dogma.

Cosmic Journeys - Solar Superstorms

A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What's driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.
Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun's rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections.
The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun, including a series of groundbreaking scientific visualizations computed on the giant new supercomputing initiative, Blue Waters,...

Observing a quieter Sun has given us the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how the solar cycle works. In this talk, I will compare magnetic observations obtained during the last three solar cycles and discuss some of the interesting (and in some cases unexpected) observational findings. In particular, I will discuss how the decrease in photospheric activity has influenced the corona and heliosphere.

http://www.dtu.dk/english/News/Nyhed?id={ABB2F1B4-F5F7-4452-BB39-9818EA7CB8F9}
With historic floods sweeping our planet, the cause can be attributed directly to an increase in galactic cosmic rays. Galactic cosmic rays cause cloud formation between 15,000 and 18,500 feet and there have been record increases in the last 18 months of 12.5% with another 19% increase of cosmic rays forecast for solar cycle 25 (2020-2031). This is the reason our planet is being ravaged by hail, blizzards and historic flooding events globally is not CO2 or "Global Warming" it's Galactic Cosmic Rays and they are increasing.

The Cloud Mystery is a documentary by Danish director Lars Oxfeldt Mortensen. It explores a controversial (until now) theory by Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark on how galactic cosmic rays and solar activity may affect cloud cover, and how this might influence global warming.
The Cloud Mystery
“Our clouds take their orders from the stars,” says the Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark. That's the amazing and provocative discovery reported here. Most experts thought the idea was crazy.
The film records ten years of effort by the small team in Copenhagen that, in the end, solved the mystery of how the Galaxy and the Sun interfere in our everyday weather.
It's provocative because Dr Svensmark's revelations challenge the belief of most climate theorists that carbon dioxide has been the main driver of global warming. As a result he has faced never-ending opposition.
But strong support for the cosmic view of climate change comes from astronomer Nir Shaviv and geologist Jan Veizer. In the film they tell how the Galaxy has governed the Earth's ever-changing climate over 500 million years.
The Cloud Mystery is aimed at a wide audience. Astonishing pictures from our Galaxy, the Sun, and cloud formations are mixed with spectacular animations to simplify the science. Comments by astronomers, geologists and climate experts convey their sense of adventure, and give scientific weight to the discoveries presented. The audience is taken on a trip around the world, where scientists from Denmark, Israel, Canada, the USA, and Norway contribute to this exciting story.
Linking all the discoveries is the non-stop rain of cosmic rays – energetic particles from exploded stars that battle with the Sun's magnetic field to reach the Earth. Central in the story is an experiment in a Copenhagen basement. It showed how cosmic rays help to make chemical specks in the air on which water drops condense to make clouds.
The story concludes that clouds are the main driver of climate change on Earth.
The documentary follows Henrik Svensmark in his struggle to find the physical evidence of a celestial climate driver. The film demonstrates that science can be a rough place to be if you are in opposition to the established “truth”.

Solar System Activity | Kids | Grade 6

Grade 6 students of GangotriPublic School, Gautam Vihar, Delhi.
We have been doing a full unit on "space" for a month. Students had a lot of fun doing this activity.
Step 1: As a homework students were supposed to read about their assigned planet and then create a cut out from thermocol (polystyrene) sheet.
Step2: On the day of the activity four students (three girls and one boy) created the semi circles using the nail and thread method they had studied in math class. It took them roughly 15 minutes to figure out and draw the planetary orbits.
Step 3: Once the orbits were drawn, all the other students came down and participated in the activity one by one. The above video was shot when one such group was enacting the motion of the planets.

Solar Activity and Climate

Prof. dr. Kees de Jager has been studying the Sun for most of his life as a professional astrophysicist. In the past few years he has focussed on the relation between solar activity and the Earth's climate.
In this talk, given on the 20th of may 2011, prof. de Jager presents the latest results of his work. One of the main conclusions is that the Sun does have a significant influence on the Earth's climate, in addition to the human induced effects.
The activity of the sun knows an 10-11 years cycle. During the period 2008 - 2010 the sun has been very quiet and the expected raise in activity started as late as 2011. Prof. de Jager expects a low maximum of the cycle that just started. It will be followed by a lengthy period of quietness, similar to the Maunder minimum of the 17th century.

NASA | Fiery Looping Rain on the Sun

Eruptive events on the sun can be wildly different. Some come just with a solar flare, some with an additional ejection of solar material called a coronal mass ejection (CME), and some with complex moving structures in association with changes in magnetic field lines that loop up into the sun's atmosphere, the corona.
On July 19, 2012, an eruption occurred on the sun that produced all three. A moderately powerful solar flare exploded on the sun's lower right hand limb, sending out light and radiation. Next came a CME, which shot off to the right out into space. And then, the sun treated viewers to one of its dazzling magnetic displays -- a phenomenon known as coronal rain.
Over the course of the next day, hot plasma in the corona cooled and condensed along strong magnetic fields in the region. Magnetic fields, themselves, are invisible, but the charged plasma is forced to move along the lines, showing up brightly in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength of 304 Angstroms, which highlights material at a temperature of about 50,000 Kelvin. This plasma acts as a tracer, helping scientists watch the dance of magnetic fields on the sun, outlining the fields as it slowly falls back to the solar surface.
The footage in this video was collected by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's AIA instrument. SDO collected one frame every 12 seconds, and the movie plays at 30 frames per second, so each second in this video corresponds to 6 minutes of real time. The video covers 12:30 a.m. EDT to 10:00 p.m. EDT on July 19, 2012.

The sun is about to enter a period of quiet, known as a solar minimum. This cycle happens every 11 years and is characterized of decreased activity—when sunspots fade away and produce fewer solar flares. With this latest period of inactivity approaching, scientists have been monitoring the sun to better understand some of the unusual activity observed over recent years.

NASA Now: The Sun: The Impact of Solar Activity on Earth

MeetMitziAdams, an astrophysicist studying the sun. Adams has been working as a solar scientist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., since 1988. She analyzes data in an attempt to predict solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. Knowing when a solar flare, or CME, is going to occur is important for our satellites in orbit, for astronauts in space, and even for power companies on the ground. Instruments on board satellites now improve these predictions. In this episode, Adams presents the latest information about the sunâs layers, coronal mass ejections, solar flares and solar cycles.

NASA | SDO: Three Years of Sun in Three Minutes

Music: "A Lady's Errand of Love" - composed and performed by Martin Lass
In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun's rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.
SDO's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) captures a shot of the sun every 12 seconds in 10 different wavelengths. The images shown here are based on a wavelength of 171 Angstroms, which is in the extreme ultraviolet range and shows solar material at around 600,000 Kelvin. In this wavelength it is easy to see the sun's 25-day rotation as well as how solar activity has increased over three years.
During the course of the video, the sun subtly increases and decreases in apparent size. This is because the distance between the SDO spacecraft and the sun varies over time. The image is, however, remarkably consistent and stable despite the fact that SDO orbits the Earth at 6,876 miles per hour and the Earth orbits the sun at 67,062 miles per hour.
Such stability is crucial for scientists, who use SDO to learn more about our closest star. These images have regularly caught solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the act, types of space weather that can send radiation and solar material toward Earth and interfere with satellites in space. SDO's glimpses into the violent dance on the sun help scientists understand what causes these giant explosions -- with the hopes of some day improving our ability to predict this space weather.
There are several noteworthy events that appear briefly in this video. They include the two partial eclipses of the sun by the moon, two roll maneuvers, the largest flare of this solar cycle, comet Lovejoy, and the transit of Venus. The specific time for each event is listed below, but a sharp-eyed observer may see some while the video is playing.
00:30;24 Partial eclipse by the moon
00:31;16 Roll maneuver
01:11;02 August 9, 2011 X6.9 Flare, currently the largest of this solar cycle
01:28;07 Comet Lovejoy, December 15, 2011

A Sunspot Fizzles While Storms Head to Earth: Solar Storm Forecast: 03-08-2018

The Sun's activity both fizzles and picks up this week. Old region 2699 that we had high hopes would boost the solar flux as it rotated into earth view has fizzled. This means amateur radio and emergency communicators will continue to suffer from poor radio propagation this week. But the Sun counters by launching several solar storms, one that is Earth directed. Along with the remnants of a coronal hole sending us some sporadic fast wind, we should expect a mild disturbance from this activity to last several days. Aurora is easily possible down to high latitudes and we might even get some short-lived shows at mid-latitudes as well. learn the details of the coming solar storm, what happened to the old active region 2699, and what else the Sun has in store.

Monitoring Solar Activity

In this animation, ESA’s future space weather satellite is seen positioned away from the Earth–Sun line and monitoring a coronal mass ejection from the Sun.
The agency is now studying design options for stationing a dedicated space weather mission at the L5 Lagrange point, where gravity and the orbital motion of the spacecraft, the Sun and our planet combine to create a stable location. From here, the spacecraft would view solar features before they rotate into view of Earth.
The spacecraft's instruments are expected to build on those flown on earlier ESA and joint solar missions, such as SOHO, Stereo, Proba-2 and Solar Orbiter. Credit: ESA

NASA | Thermonuclear Art – The Sun In Ultra-HD (4K)

It’s always shining, always ablaze with light and energy that drive weather, biology and more. In addition to keeping life alive on Earth, the sun also sends out a constant flow of particles called the solar wind, and it occasionally erupts with giant clouds of solar material, called coronal mass ejections, or explosions of X-rays called solar flares. These events can rattle our space environment out to the very edges of our solar system. In space, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, keeps an eye on our nearest star 24/7. SDO captures images of the sun in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material. In this video, we experience SDO images of the sun in unprecedented detail. Presented in ultra-high definition, the video presents the dance of the ultra-hot material on our life-giving star in extraordinary detail, offering an intimate view of the grand forces of the solar system.

The Recent Decline in Solar Activity

Cycles 23 and 24 mark a change in solar activity in recent times. Most of the solar synoptic programs from both ground and space observatories started during the Space Age, which corresponded to an extended period of above-average solar activity. Thus, many of our ideas on the solar cycle were based on the Sun's behavior during active times. Cycle 24 was preceded by the longest and deepest minimum in about 100 years and is the weakest cycle ever observed with modern instrumentation. Already in cycle 23, a lack of very large sunspots was noticeable, and in cycle 24, sunspots of all sizes have been scarce. However, this does not make cycle 24 anomalous in a longer-term context (weak cycles have fewer spots!), and we do not find evidence that the physical properties of sunspots have changed. Observing a quieter Sun has given us the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how the solar cycle works. In this talk, I will compare magnetic observations obtained during the last three solar cycles and discuss some of the interesting (and in some cases unexpected) observational findings. In particular, I will discuss how the decrease in photospheric activity has influenced the corona and heliosphere.

The sun dominates life on our planet, yet we know astonishingly little about long-term variation in solar activity and how it might have influenced Earths climate. JoinDevendra Lal as he explains how chemical clues locked in Antarctic ice can reconstruct 1,000 years of solar activity and how this knowledge is critical to understanding Earths climate history.

In part #6/10 of the GrandSolarMinimumPrimer we focus on GalacticCosmic Rays and their influence on global climate.
Recent studies and discoveries at CERN have proven that galactic cosmic rays cause cloud nucleation. Therefore galactic cosmic ray intensity can be correlated to global climate change. This is due to the albedo effect and increasing cloud nucleation resulting in global cooling. I have provided many provocative links to help you get started on your journey to understand the truth about climate change and eliminate the dogma.
Danish experiment suggests unexpected magic by cosmic rays in cloud formation:
http://www.dtu.dk/english/News/Nyhed?id={ABB2F1B4-F5F7-4452-BB39-9818EA7CB8F9}
With historic floods sweeping our planet, the cause can be attributed directly to an increase in galactic cosmic rays. Galactic cosmic rays cause cloud formation between 15,000 and 18,500 feet and there have been record increases in the last 18 months of 12.5% with another 19% increase of cosmic rays forecast for solar cycle 25 (2020-2031). This is the reason our planet is being ravaged by hail, blizzards and historic flooding events globally is not CO2 or "Global Warming" it's Galactic Cosmic Rays and they are increasing.
The influence of cosmic rays on terrestrial clouds and global warming:
https://academic.oup.com/astrogeo/article/41/4/4.18/195609/The-influence-of-cosmic-rays-on-terrestrial-clouds
The Cloud Mystery is a documentary by Danish director Lars Oxfeldt Mortensen. It explores a controversial (until now) theory by Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark on how galactic cosmic rays and solar activity may affect cloud cover, and how this might influence global warming.
The Cloud Mystery
“Our clouds take their orders from the stars,” says the Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark. That's the amazing and provocative discovery reported here. Most experts thought the idea was crazy.
The film records ten years of effort by the small team in Copenhagen that, in the end, solved the mystery of how the Galaxy and the Sun interfere in our everyday weather.
It's provocative because Dr Svensmark's revelations challenge the belief of most climate theorists that carbon dioxide has been the main driver of global warming. As a result he has faced never-ending opposition.
But strong support for the cosmic view of climate change comes from astronomer Nir Shaviv and geologist Jan Veizer. In the film they tell how the Galaxy has governed the Earth's ever-changing climate over 500 million years.
The Cloud Mystery is aimed at a wide audience. Astonishing pictures from our Galaxy, the Sun, and cloud formations are mixed with spectacular animations to simplify the science. Comments by astronomers, geologists and climate experts convey their sense of adventure, and give scientific weight to the discoveries presented. The audience is taken on a trip around the world, where scientists from Denmark, Israel, Canada, the USA, and Norway contribute to this exciting story.
Linking all the discoveries is the non-stop rain of cosmic rays – energetic particles from exploded stars that battle with the Sun's magnetic field to reach the Earth. Central in the story is an experiment in a Copenhagen basement. It showed how cosmic rays help to make chemical specks in the air on which water drops condense to make clouds.
The story concludes that clouds are the main driver of climate change on Earth.
The documentary follows Henrik Svensmark in his struggle to find the physical evidence of a celestial climate driver. The film demonstrates that science can be a rough place to be if you are in opposition to the established “truth”.

Weather update + Solar activity today

Weather update USA and the UK. Is winter over? Or are we just seeing the signs of a new era.
System after system plough through the US and Europe bringing Snow and ice, we must remember where there is snow ;there is potential for major flooding, this is a natural occurrence and should not be confused with the politically driven agenda of AGW, during years of the Maunder Minimum and Dalton similar patterns across the Northern Hemisphere were indeed in association with dropping global temperatures.

Cosmic Journeys - Solar Superstorms

A fury is building on the surface of the Sun – high-velocity jets, a fiery tsunami wave that reaches 100,000 kilometers high, rising loops of electrified gas. What's driving these strange phenomena? How will they affect planet Earth? Find the answers as we venture into the seething interior of our star.
Solar Superstorms is a major new production that takes viewers into the tangle of magnetic fields and superhot plasma that vent the Sun's rage in dramatic flares, violent solar tornadoes, and the largest eruptions in the solar system: Coronal Mass Ejections.
The show features one of the most intensive efforts ever made to visualize the inner workings of the sun, including a series of groundbreaking scientific visualizations computed on the giant new supercomputing initiative, Blue Waters, based at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA), University of Illinois.
Brace yourself for the onslaught of the next ….Solar Superstorm.
